discuss. some of the opportunities we see as a result. in order for the city to become the host city we signed a host and then you agreement. there were three signatories to the party. the event authority and their sister agency, the event authority manages the land side. operations, they are the equivalent of the olympic committee. there is the dealing with the boats loading and unloading into the bay. this is a 5 a1c 3 -- 501c3. per that agreement, looking to raise up to $32 million to

degray thfray the costs of hostg this events. when we talk about the america's cup, we're talking about a couple of different events under one banner. the match finals are september 2013 from 7 september through september 22. this is welwhere they will contt the defender and the final challenger of record to see who is the next holder. there's a series called the levitan cup -- louis vuitton cup. that is a a series of match

racing against the intended challengers and who will be that final challenger. new this year and this is the 160th year is the world series. this is on a smaller boat. they are in the middle of the second event. they are in a couple of locations in san diego and then us and coming to you next summer. in the middle of september and august, there will be the world series racing events going on on the bay. this is a great opportunity to test our economic development, public safety, waste management, and transportation strategies before the real crowds come.

he may have seen a couple of these boats in june. there were two or cool boats testing the course configurations for the america's cup. one of which was skippered by the all-time winning skipper who has won four times. these are on fast, light, nimble catamarans. he capsized and went ahead first through the sale. that was an exciting event on the internet and help them determine the final course area for the event. the area we have proposed as part of the draft report was the majority of the central part of san francisco bay from the golden gate to angel island to treasure island to the northern part of san francisco. that is that dotted blue line

showing the perimeter for the area of study. that area has been more finalized. we're working with the coast guard to finalize the accord nats. it is looking to be that light blue shaded area. a sudden portion will be in 2012. the and hearty is expected for 2013. that makes this area here the primary viewing opportunities for the america's cup in 12 and 13. some of these opportunities are program sites for the event authority. areas where they will have food and beverage, merchandising, jumbotron showings, spectator stands, free access and vip corporate special showings. there will have events before

and after the on water races. announcing the winner is entertainment pack -- after the fact. the america's cup pavilion or headquarters will be there. while the eastern part is under construction. we will be moving at pavilion to pier 27 and 29. where going through the permitting process to get a seismic retrofit and completion. the other areas, there will be some program event in dealing. and some of the peers in between with the bases that appears 30 and 32 south of the bay bridge. some of the renderings that were released with the draft the are.

here is green and green -- marina green. some seating, all public access with the exception of some special hospitality areas. in 2013 that moves to the east, pierce 27, 29. where this will be the location of our cruise ship terminal. the rectangular building to the right along pier 27. we will construct the core and show of that for the event authority during the events and after we will outfit it as the cruise ship terminal and work to complete the northeast plaza. some of the legacy benefits. pierce 30, 32 south of the bridge will be the team base operations where they catamarans will be offloaded and fixed and

a rake and cleaned and everything needs to happen. in terms of public engagement and outrage. we have posted a series of meetings in the community with neighborhood groups, community benefit district, anybody who will have less. we have had over 70 meetings over the last couple of months on the impacts to neighborhoods and opportunities for business and try to be out there and as transparent as possible. the draft eir was published on july 11. as 1600 page document and dependencies -- appendices looking at the environmental impacts of hosting these areas.

the public comment closed august 25. we received 2000 pages of comments. our collective city staff is working to get through those comments. that process will take us until november. we will look to go to the planning commission for certification of our eir. the nepa process is following our state environmental quality act and they are in the scoping. now -- scoping period now. we can start the construction i referenced on the side -- east side. the host city agreement and the

draft the our reference the creation of a 11 implementation plans. and those plans range from advertising and ambush marketing to prevent operations, how are we going to protect sensitive habitat? the people plan which peter is here to talk about, our public safety plan led by the police department and highway patrol, birthplace, cigarettes service, our regional sheriff's offices on how to conduct public safety during the events. a sustainability plan, how are we going to manage to achieve our goal of zero waste and carbon neutral event and making this the greatest -- greenest eenevent in the world. in terms of working with waste

and disposal. working on securing the race course area. the workforce development plan where we're looking at connections to city -- local hiring and how to connect san francisco businesses to the event. the u.s. involvement plan, how are we going to provide internships for then remembers of san francisco, how are we going to provide access and curricula and opportunities to engage our use. finally as your waste plant. how do we work with our department to do composting, recycling, waste diversion. we are busy on a number of fronts. a lot of these plans are in their draft form now. some of which have been posted

to our website at oewd.org. others will be forthcoming in october. itis is a general overview. there is the people plan and our plan to get people to and from the event. >> good afternoon. i will continue drilling down on the people plan which is really the transportation plan. the five principles have been resource efficiency, making sure that if we are calling out parts of the infrastructure that are doing the heavy lifting, moving people around, we're picking them efficiently. we want this to help san

franciscans and commuters get around. as you'll see, we are tmz out of the network pieces of transportation infrastructure that can help everyone moving around during this event. and our mental sustainability. in addition to the bicycle focus, we have to make sure we're managing where people go. there are sensitive areas that can be overwhelmed and other areas that can accommodate hundreds of thousands. we're working with the sustainability plan and the operations plan to move people where they would be well received and move people away from areas in the presidio and sensitive areas where there could be environmental damage. there is a lot of talk about hundreds of thousands of people coming to watch the america's cup. that could be a possibility but during 2012 there will probably

be less. we need a plan that is strategic and agile. making the size its response to the best numbers we can predict for who was coming. one of the ideas with not just mta but caltrans, golden gate transit, and barred, is to come up with a range of plants -- plans. we're working with hotels and the information. maybe another day would be a sea day. a more skilled response might be appropriate. we think that is helping everybody be ready. the looks like tomorrow will be a d day.

public safety, i do not think i need to elaborate much more. that will be the final and overriding concern. the goal is by hosting, san francisco is in better shape. the program and investments that make this system work better because we hosted the america's cup. the timeline of the plan. we kicked off the draft. that was part of an agreement with the america's cup event authority. that has been public since then. we have had a lot of meetings. not just with the public and the neighborhood. with anyone related to transportation. we wanted to be transparent so people could see were the plan was going. on may 18, which posted the

first progress report. an inventory of comments which helped the regional partners figure, we hear that neighborhood is worried about this kind of service. they could kick in a plan that addresses the concerns and in july, we got the proposals from the providers themselves and that helped inform the document. these steps are also helping shape the environmental review. the third and nal progress report was uploaded last week. that is including a lot more information. we started to work with the school districts so they can be aware of these events. the final plan is due on

september 30. i do want to say there are needed changes. the document would be certified in november. that is an opportunity to make sure the plan we predicted has a good response and where we are after the review and discussion. we can refine the plan to make sure it is more informed. as 2012 becomes a good experimental year to try out things, we could go back to the plan after the 2012 world series events and make sure the bus lines we thought were valuable were the ones that ended up doing the work. if there was a demand on the fillmore and not so much on the 43, we will make that adjustment and that dry run helps prepare better for 2013. here is the graphic that has been published in the document. it will be revised.

the show some of the key lines we know will be doing heavy lifting. in addition to the lines that are running now, this is muni only. a few lines will be called for extra duty. that line is a good connection between civic center bart and fort mason. in addition we will introduce a line on van ness helping commuters. if this as a pilot is positive, it could be one of the legacies. if you think about where that line goes, it connects major tourist destinations and goes along the waterfront. along the waterfront. actually within walking
